HARNESS SOCIAL MEDIA

SIMPLICITY AND SPEED

ON-AIR PLAYOUT

With speed and ease of use central to its development, Crowdburst has an intuitive web-based drag-and-drop interface used for collating, moderating and playing out social media content.

Combine this with live graphic systems,

VizRT and Ventuz, to display content on customisable, templated graphics such as tickers and video walls, and feed content directly to on-air talent to maximise interactivity.
